✦ Synopsis

In this paper we develop a model that considers process quality improvement and setup cost reduction. The distinctive characteristics of our model are embodied in the assumptions that production rate is ®nite and cost of attaining close to zero setup time is not in®nite. Additionally, the process layout makes possible spotting problems at the place of appearance and these problems can be ®xed. The outcome of our analysis under these assumptions supports the popular operations paradigm that reducing response time and increasing process reliability are parallel processes.
